All of these hard drives are accessible from the ICC once the volumes have been mounted as part of the IGRINS Startup Procedure.

 

During a trimester, files are to be copied from the ICC to the DSC in order to make a duplicate of each file. In This is in addition to the copy saved by each observer, this ensures ensuring at least three copies.

At the start of a trimester all files from the previous trimester will be archived.  This is accomplished by:

  1. Copy ICC files to DSC, UT external HD, and KASI external HD. 
    1. Each system is setup with a storage tree that identifies the initial hard drive and the trimester of the files. (HD>DCCS_4> 2014T2>files sorted by local date of observation)
    2. To copy the files while maintaining the files dates and copying every subdirectory
      1. cd to the target directory        cd /Volumes/HD/2014T2
      2. use this format.          cp -apv /IGRINS/obsdata/201409* .
    3. To copy to the DSC you need to first make OBSDATA on the DCS DSC>OBSDATA a shared drive, and then complete the steps above.
  2. Copy DCC files to external hard drive.
    1. cd to the target directory        cd /Volumes/HD/2014T2
    2. use this format.          cp -apv /IGRINS/obsdata/201409* .
    3. or drag and drop.

 

In order to avoid filling hard drives they must be cleaned after the copies have been made. 

The DCC appear appears to save every fowler read as a separate file, producing 32 1632x16.8MB files for each nod position. For a 12 hour night this is roughly 25GB of storage, and for a 60 night trimester this is 1.5TB of data on a 1TB HD.
